Processing and characterization

The processing pipelines offered by the Radio Observatory are described in the 'Pre-processing Pipeline', 'Prefactor Pipeline' and 'Long Baseline Pipeline' sub-pages.
In order to generate high sensitivity images advanced calibration recipes need to be applied to the pre-processed data released by the Radio Observatory. A description of these procesure is found here. The computing time and resources required to process LOFAR data can be found in the Computational Requirements sub-page.
